A new Apple patent filing hints at future Apple Vision Pros with displays that can be adjusted relative to a user’s eyes.
About the patent filing
In the patent filing — dubbed, appropriately, “Electronic Device Including Adjustable Display” — Apple notes that recent advances in portable computing have enabled head-mountable devices that provide augmented and virtual reality experiences to users. Various components of these devices, such as displays, viewing frames, securement straps, speakers, batteries, and other components, operate together to provide an immersive and comfortable experience.
Apple says that users of head-mountable devices can prefer the displays of these devices to be disposed at different differences from their eyes for various reasons. Apple wants to offer a Vison Pro that includes a display that is adjustable relative to a user’s eyes.
Summary of the patent filing
Here’s Apple’s abstract of the patent filing: “Head-mountable electronic devices including adjustable displays and methods of using the same are disclosed. In an example, a head-mountable electronic device includes a display unit including a display, a first frame coupled to the display, a second frame coupled to the first frame by a first actuator, and a securement strap coupled to the second frame. The first actuator can be configured to adjust a distance between the first frame and the second frame, and the first actuator can be non-backdrivable.”
